a b s T r a C T Across two studies we aimed to provide evidences of validity and reliability for the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) in Brazil. In study 1, 171 individuals participated (Age M = 21.9, SD = 6.59) and 232 in Study 2 (Age M = 26.3, SD = 7.06). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the predicted one-factor solution, with five items and satisfactory internal consistence (α = 0.76). A multi-group CFA revealed partial measurement equivalence between our and the original (USA) versions of the BRS. The BRS correlated significant with positivity and personality traits. The composite reliability was satisfying; the convergent validity, measured with the average variance extracted, was slightly below the recommendations. Overall, the results show that the measure is psychometrically suitable for research in Brazil.

En el estúdio 1, 171 personas participaron (Edad M = 21.9, SD = 6.59) y 232 en el Estudio 2 (Edad M = 26.3, SD = 7.06). El análisis factorial confirmatório (AFC) apoya la solución unifactorial, con cinco ítems y fidedignidad satisfactoria (α = 0.76). Una AFC Multigrupo reveló la equivalencia de medición parcial entre la nuestra y la versión original (EUA) de la BER. La BER se correlaciona significativamente con positividad y rasgos de personalidad. La confiabilidad compuesta fue satisfactoria; la validez convergente, utilizando la varianza media extraída, fue ligeramente abajo de las recomendaciones. En general, los resultados muestran que la medida es psicométricamente adecuada para la investigación en Brasil.Palabras clave resiliencia; validación; medidas; invariancia factorial
Gather evidence of construct and convergent validity and internal consistency of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). A total of 441 students, mostly female (54.6%), with a mean age of 16 years (SD = 1.14), answered the ERQ and demographic questions. They were randomly distributed in two databases, which were submitted to exploratory (sample 1) and confirmatory factor analysis (sample 2). The exploratory results indicated a three-factor structure: Cognitive Reappraisal, Redirection of Attentional Focus and Emotional Suppression, which together explained 59.3% of the total variance (α = 0,67; α = 0,63; α = 0,64). For the confirmatory analyses, the following goodness-of-fit indices were found: χ² (24) = 67.02, p <0.001; χ² / df = 2.79, GFI = 0.93; AGFI = 0.88; CFI = 0.88 and RMSEA = 0.08 (IC 90% = 0.064-0.100). Thus, it is concluded that the ERQ possesses satisfactory psychometric indices, being the promising instrument for evaluation of emotion regulation.
Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo conhecer os significados atribuídos às teorias da conspiração em amostra brasileira. Participaram 383 estudantes universitários (54,6% mulheres; Midade = 21,9) de uma instituição pública de João Pessoa, Paraíba, que responderam a perguntas demográficas e a duas questões abertas (O que você entende por teorias da conspiração? O que lhe vem à cabeça quando você pensa em teorias da conspiração?). A partir da análise de Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, identificaram-se cinco classes: (1) teorias sem embasamento científico, (2) manipulação de grupos secretos, (3) explicação da realidade social, (4) contestação de fatos sociais e (5) controle de informação. No geral, os significados atribuídos às teorias da conspiração foram atrelados à explicação de acontecimentos da realidade social e à existência de grupos secretos que controlam eventos importantes. Tais resultados foram discutidos à luz de estudos sobre as teorias da conspiração em Psicologia, e revelaram congruência com a concepção que se construiu desse construto.
